Abstract
Quantum dot materials, with their unique photophysical properties, are promising zero-dimensional materials for encryption, display, solar cells, and biomedical applications. However, due to the large surface to volume ratio, they face the challenge of chemical instability and low carrier transport efficiency, which have greatly limited their reliability and utility. In light of the current development bottleneck of quantum dot materials, the chemical stability and physical properties can be effectively improved by the self-assembly method. This review will discuss the research progress of the self-assembly methods of quantum dots and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of those self-assembly methods. Furthermore, the scientific challenges and improvement in the self-assembly method of quantum dots are prospected.
